Answer:

k = 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2 - 5x + k

dy/dx = 2x - 5 = the slope of the tangent to the curve

The slope of the normal = -1/(2x - 5)

The line 3y + x =25 is normal to the curve so finding its slope:

3y = 25 - x

y = -1/3 x + 25/3 <------- Slope is -1/3

So at the point of intersection with the curve, if the line is normal to the curve:

-1/3 = -1 / (2x - 5)

2x - 5 = 3 giving x = 4.

Substituting for x in y = x^2 - 5x + k:

When x = 4, y = (4)^2 - 5*4 + k

y = 16 - 20 + k

so y = k - 4.

From the equation y = -1/3 x + 25/3, at x = 4

y = (-1/3)*4 + 25/3 = 21/3 = 7.

So y = k - 4 = 7

k = 7 + 4 = 11.

Nitella [24]

Answer:

x + 2y = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Line goes through (-4, 0) and (4, -4).

The slope is (-4 - 0) / (4 - -4) = -4 / (4 + 4) = -4 / 8 = -1/2.

Since we are looking for the equation of the line parallel to that line, the slope will be the same.

We have an equation of y = -1/2x + b. We have a point at (2, 3). We can then say that y = 3 when x = 2.

3 = (-1/2) * 2 + b

b - 1 = 3

b = 4.

So, we have y = -1/2x + 4.

1/2x + y = 4

x + 2y = 8.

Hope this helps!

In a group of 90 students, 65 watch rugby, 71 play a sport and 15 do neither.

Dimas [21]

Answer:

$\frac{14}{75}$ probability of selecting a student who plays a sport but does not watch rugby out of the people who play a sport.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Find the probability that a student chosen at random from those who play a sport does not watch rugby."

90-15= 75 students either play a sport OR watch rugby

65+71-75=

136-75=

61 people play a sport AND watches rugby

14 people play a sport and DOES NOT watch rugby

$\frac{14}{75}$ is the probability of selecting a student who plays a sport but does not watch rugby out of the people who play a sport.

Two new drugs are to be tested using a group of 60 laboratory mice, each tagged with a number for identification purposes. Drug

lakkis [162]

Answer:

4.979044478499338 × 10²⁶

Step-by-step explanation:

Combination can be used to determine the number of ways the mice can be selected for the drugs (A, B) and the control group.

Combination factorial is define by ⁿCr = $\frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}$

21 group of mice receiving Drug A can be selected in ⁶⁰C₂₁ = $\frac{60!}{21!39!}$

(60 - 21 = 39 ) mice remained for selection of 21 mice for the second drug

Drug B 21 mice can be chosen with ³⁹C₂₁ = $\frac{39!}{21!18!}$

( 39 - 21 = 18) remained for control with ¹⁸C₁₈ = $\frac{18!}{18!0!}$

The number of ways the mice can be chosen for drug A, drug B and the control = ⁶⁰C₂₁ × ³⁹C₂₁ × ¹⁸C₁₈ = $\frac{60!}{21!39!}$ × $\frac{39!}{21!18!}$ × $\frac{18!}{18!0!}$ = 4.979044478499338 × 10²⁶
